Cell Phones
Motorola launched the first hand-held cellphone in 1987, and cellular technology hasn’t slowed down since. A far cry from the slim and lightweight cellphones we have today, it’s very hard to imagine fitting a phone like this in your pocket.
Computers
The ease of bringing your computer with you wherever you want thanks to its lightweight and portable design didn’t always exist. In the 1980’s, most computers looked something like this, and surely weren’t easily portable.
Sony Walkman
The Sony Walkman was the 1980’s answer to what the iPod is for us today. These were once considered to be the most important thing to bring with you when you left the house, and they sparked a musical revolution in many.
Televisions
Big screens, flat screens, curved screens, or even 3D screens are the new ideal features when it comes to television sets. In the 1980’s, just having a clear picture was often considered a real treat in many places.
Cars
You’ll still see a few cars on the road today that look like this one from the 1980’s. Though they don’t have the technological or comfort features that many cars do today, they have still come a long way from vehicles manufactured in the early 1900’s.
Watches
Do you rely on your cellphone for checking the time? That’s not uncommon, and many people don’t wear watches at all now. In the 1980’s, digital watches like this were the stylish and technologically trendy way to tell time.
Toaster
It kind of looks more like a medieval torture device than a food prepping tool, but this was a pretty run of the mill toaster in the 1980’s.
Gameboy
Children often play the majority of their video games on iPads or iPhones these days, but in the 1980’s, a Gameboy was the most popular gaming device.
Cameras
The beauty of smartphones is having a phone, a music player, a camera, and much more all in one place. Cameras in the 1980’s often looked something like this. This same Polaroid camera is now making a come-back and are highly sought after.
